James O'Brien responds to texts from listeners claiming he's ‘stirring up a tsunami of hatred’ because of his comments on Israel's behaviour.

‘Janet’s just heard me celebrating the Hamas leader's elimination, mourning the carnage of Palestinian civilians and condemning the decision to demand land be occupied illegally by Israelis', he says.

James also discusses the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who 'masterminded' the October 7th attacks last year.

Sinwar was confirmed dead by Israel's foreign minister on Thursday following DNA testing on bodies recovered at the scene.
